need a better all-around game from others but Newton was unreal

I hope Spencer is ok

 

[uconnfan68]

Fought hard tough place to win especially when you can’t make free throws

And the other team shoots like they haven’t all year.

 

[BiggieSmall]

Clingan 3-8, Cam 1-7, maybe his foot bothered him but he doesn’t jump when he shoots and he did bang one while hurt. He was just being rushed and that’s not his game.

 

[bluestreak]

We needed more than one guy to have a good game.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

Karaban hate is weird. He was fine. Never trusted anyone more to hit an open 3.

he had a terrible game tonight. but it was a bad matchup for him. his limited athleticism really showed. reality check for those talking about him as a first round pick.

 

[Conndog]

Proud of the guys. They didn't play that well, besides Newton, and they were right there. Well I hope we see Kansas In the NCAA Tournament because the Huskies won't lose to them on a neutral court. I guarantee it.

Especially if bench develops and Clingan improves even more. Wish he'd concentrate on being down low. He showed good footwork on that spin around Dickinson but on another play against a smaller guard he couldn't move effectively. It was intriguing having both him and Johson in together, that could be really devastating potentially. Maybe Samson can be the big up high and let Clingan stay down low. Would have loved a victory but not going to jump off the roof with the loss. Not sure what to make of Karaban tonight- just overmatched on defense, couldn't get untracked.

AK didn’t play bad.

Fun game. Someone had to lose. We’re better. The End.

 

[Excalibur]

The game was decided by their non-shooter ripping nylon on 3 straight 3s.

 

[WrenchFan69]

This game did not remotely matter and I LOVE our chances on a neutral court without James Breeding come March. Our next important game is December 20th. Boys will be ready

 

[HobokenHusky]

officiating didn’t lose us the game. stop.

I never said it did. But it wasn’t good. I have not seen as blatant a bad call as the ball out on Dickenson’s hand in a good while.

 

[Old Faithful]

Karaban’s d hurt us. Needs to step up if we are going to win big games.

 

[Yanksrock615]

Our offense is better with Samson

 

[Huskymagic]

Tristen Newton is our best player, that is abundantly clear. He is the only one who played well.

That was mistake by Hurley to have Cam take that potential game winning 3 at the end. Newton had the hot hand and it should have been Newton to take that shot.

Spencer, Karaban, and Clingan struggle against super athletic teams. We have a lack of athleticism and foot speed.

PS: We lost a lot of athleticism from last years team and it shows.

 

[AntG168]

It’s not.

 

[Austin316]

I am not usually that guy but the officiating was brutal.

Still played horribly except for Newton didn’t have Castle and almost won at Phog Allen. We are good.

There were some no calls but they generally just let the guys play. The atmosphere played more of a role than the refs.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

We've all seen bad losses. (One of the worst was in that very building.) This wasn't one of them. Having a chance to beat #5 KU in the last possession on their home floor? I would have taken that.

Not making any excuses based on personnel & health, but I will say that I like our chances against KU on a neutral court later in the season.

I think that wipe out was in Kansas City not Fogg
That and the Kerry Kittles masterpiece on our own floor are the only blowout loses I can remember .

 

[uconngb]

Good news is he will be back next year

I think

(It’s good news)

 

[Boost'ED]

Karaban had 10 pts, 6 rebounds, a steal and a block. No complaints here.

The numbers look decent, but it was very inefficient.

AK coming off a very good freshman season, I think all of us expect more.

 

[Giddyup5]

That was an impressive defensive team we played.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Really fun game to watch and overall a high level competitive college basketball game. I can’t ask for much more than that.

 

[SportsFan88]

We were up 4 with 8 to go. No moral victory

I think I said that though lol but we agree

It was. But most people choose not to remember it that way.

You forgot the 5 fouls - he would have hit the game winning 3.

 

[jpeakin]

officiating didn’t lose us the game. stop.

This!

Terrible FT shooting and great D by KU that completely disrupted us. We had our chances. AFH is next to impossible to come away with a victory. We will bounce back strong against NC

I will always take a swallowed whistle over a worn out one…and tonight was that.

Outside of the AK foul on the alley oop, the officiating was pretty much fair for me.
